Ciaron Maher has revealed the roadmap for the formidable Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) victor, Pride Of Jenni, revealing intentions to target the prestigious Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) in October.
Initially contemplating the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes (1600m) following the thrilling win last Saturday, Maher officially solidified the Cox Plate aspirations via RSN972 on Monday.
“The Cox Plate will be our target,” declared Maher. “The King Charles has been mentioned but the Cox Plate is the one.”
Market dynamics reflect the growing confidence in Pride Of Jenni’s prowess, with her odds firming from +400 to +350 in Cox Plate futures markets with horse racing bookies.
She is poised to engage in a riveting showdown with Queen Elizabeth Stakes runner-up Via Sistina, who shares the second line of betting at +500 alongside the 2023 Cox Plate victor, Romantic Warrior.
If Pride Of Jenni graces the turf for the King Charles III Stakes, she would enter the Cox Plate on a seven-day back-up.
